Are corporations people? The U.S. Supreme Court says they are, at least for some purposes. Monday, in part two of our series, we’ll look at the impact of the U. S. Supreme Court’s Citizens United ruling which allowed corporations and unions to spend freely in political campaigns. We’ll also examine the subsequent Move To Amend effort which seeks to overturn that ruling.
It’s now been more than 4 years since the landmark case was decided. Do you think the effects have been good or bad for the political process? Have there been unintended consequences? What should be done going forward? Our guests will include Thomas Huckin, University of Utah Professor of English, who is with Utah Move To Amend; and John Ferguson, who teaches business law and ethics in the USU Huntsman School of Business.
